ALL NOVEL Chapter 134: 134
"···Aaaah, hand! My, my hand!!!!?"
The Demon, whose wrist had been cut off, screamed in disbelief as she stared at her empty hand.
Tuck-
"Shut up."
A firm hand pushed into her mouth.
"Euk!? Heup!?"
"Don't be such a baby just because you lost an arm. Aren't you ashamed as a Demon?"
A chilly breeze seemed to emanate from the young boy who grabbed her mouth, but the murderous aura that seeped out from within suggested the depth of his anger.
"You'll get twice what Soup got. I'll carve it into your body. You're not going to die until then."
She glared at Jin Yuha with bloodshot eyes.
But Jin Yuha calmly and restrainedly returned her gaze.
Clickety-clickety-clickety-click-
Her teeth chattered as if she were naked and thrown into the polar region.
'Damn it! Damn! What the hell!! Where the hell did this monster come from…!!!'
It was too late for regrets.
Grip.
The hand holding her face began to tighten.
"Euk! Ooh-euk!!"
Demon, with only one hand left, tried to hit his forearm, but it was as immovable as a solid rock.
The fingertips that held her mouth dug into her cheeks, making deep indentations.
Grip!
"Kehuk!?"
Wosh.
Jin Yuha tore out Demon's mouth and opened his palm expressionlessly.
Teeth, flesh, and blood dripped from his hand.
"Heuk-keh-."
Demon lay on the ground, trembling, looking up at him.
Jin Yuha's sword swung downward.
Squeak
Pshoo!
This time, it was her ankle that was cut off.
It happened in an instant.
Less than a minute after losing her wrist, Demon had lost her ankle as well.
"Heh, heh-heuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu······!!"
A groan like an animal's cry escaped Demon's mouth.
She tried to get up, but couldn't.
She could only squirm on the floor like a bug.
Jin Yuha looked down at her coldly and said,
"You will survive to the end and witness the deaths of your comrades with your own eyes."
.
.
.
They attacked with all their might, but their opponent easily dodged their attacks.
One of the Demons even fell like a bug without doing anything.
The Demons gaped at the unbelievable sight.
Who would believe that this was a first-year student?
A sword that cut through human flesh without hesitation.
What was shocking was that it was not a Demon, accustomed to killing, but an Academy student who was displaying such prowess.
Of course, the students of Velvet Hunter Academy undergo rigorous training every day.
In addition to their assigned classes, they all lock themselves in their personal training rooms day and night, striving to break through their limits.
However, in the end, they are still sheltered flowers in a greenhouse, with their lives guaranteed.
They may somehow become accustomed to hunting monsters, but betting their lives against real humans is an entirely different matter.
The Demons, who were always in the position of predators, hunting other humans, now cowered like prey themselves.
Thud.
As Jin Yuha's footsteps turned towards the other Demons, they each drew their weapons and slowly backed away.
Then, from behind him, a Demon whose mouth had been torn open shouted, spraying blood.
"Ju, Kill!! Kill him!! If you don't finish him off here, we're all gonna die!!!!!"
With her mouth torn and teeth pulled out, her pronunciation was unclear.
But her meaning was clear, and the Demons tightened their grip on their weapons.
And as they all rushed towards Jin Yuha.
Sreak-
Jin Yuha's figure blurred.
Swish!
The light of the sword flashed, and the blood on the blade drew a red arc.
The neck, which had soared into the air, tried to open its mouth and scream, but it was too late, as the head had already parted ways with the body.
Thud.
The head, with its eyes and mouth wide open, fell towards the floor.
Thump.
The body of the Demon, now headless, fell to the ground in vain.
.
.
.
A cool breeze brushed against my hair, cooling down my heated head.
The evening sunset was gradually darkening.
I looked at the Demons in front of me and tried to gauge their number.
'A total of fifteen.'
One of them was lying on the ground behind me, and one was dead.
That left thirteen here.
Could I take on all of them at once?
Of course, it wouldn't be difficult.
When Yoo-ri's recovery had run out earlier, my body had also benefited from Sophia's recovery.
And these Demons, compared to the boss, Rebecca, were just extras, mere pathetic trash.
'But if they decide to run away and scatter, it'll be a pain in the ass to chase them down.'
Even if they were fast, they would eventually be caught and stabbed with my sword.
But that wasn't what I was worried about.
It was the hostages.
If I swung my sword as fast as I could, I could take down about eleven of them right here, but two of them could escape and take a student hostage.
Now that Yoo-ri was in that state, to be honest, I didn't care about sacrificing a few students.
'But if I do that, Yoo-ri's sacrifice would be meaningless.'
Sword specialization is basically strong in 1:1 situations.
It's not suited for fighting multiple opponents at once.
Then, suddenly, a skill came to mind.
A skill that he had never used in actual combat before.
It was a skill that he hadn't acquired or learned on his own, but one that he could use with the item he had obtained from the Alice Box – the Moonlight Earrings.
'New Moon'
It was a technique that allowed those with sword specialization, who were strong in 1:1 situations, to fight against multiple opponents.
'Yeah, New Moon is a skill that can only be used when the background is night, so I haven't had a chance to use it until now.'
As he channeled his magical power.
The moon-shaped earrings on his ears emitted a bright blue light.
.
.
.
The students swallowed nervously.
"...…Hey, hey. Are, are you sure those guys are Demons?"
"Yeah, I think that's what they said earlier."
"So, Yoo-ri was really almost killed...?"
It was only then that they realized the weight of Yoo-ri's sacrifice and the reason for Jin Yuha's anger.
"So that's why our attacks didn't work at all...."
"Hey, hey... Shouldn't we go out and fight too? Should we just leave Jin Yuha to fight alone?"
"What, what can we do!"
"They're Demons! Demons!!"
This was the typical perception of first-year students towards Demons.
Demons were ruthless individuals who hunted Hunters.
They would stop at nothing to kill their targets.
The stories they had heard and experienced since childhood were enough to make them understand the danger these Demons posed.
When they didn't know they were Demons, everyone had been eager to attack, but now they only looked to Jin Yuha with hope.
That was why Se-hee had initially thought of a way to inform them that the Demons were coming, but had ultimately decided against it!
"But, Jin Yuha... What are you doing to those Demons... What..."
Those who had been shocked by the fact that their opponents were Demons soon realized what kind of fight Jin Yuha was engaging in.
Even though everyone was witnessing the same scene, they couldn't believe their eyes.
There were more than ten Demons, yet Jin Yuha was moving freely among them.
Vroom-
A brief flash of light in Jin Yuha's ears, and the tip of his sword took on a chilling aura.
The sword, extended from his hand, emitted sword energy in streaks.
Thud!
Taap-
Jin Yuha put weight on his toes and launched himself forward.
However, there was no footprint left where he had pushed off.
His speed was unusual.
The Demons gritted their teeth and tried to attack Jin Yuha, but he moved as if he were in a different time flow.
Jin Yuha appeared in front of one of the Demons and stabbed his sword into the man's body.
Phuk-
Phuk-
Phuk-
"Kheoh-erk-!"
The blood-soaked blade withdrew from the man's body and then stabbed into his vital points in quick succession.
The sound was sharp, and the movements were concise.
It was a sword technique that had reached its peak by eliminating all unnecessary elements.
It was the swordsmanship taught by Baek Seol-hee.
"...."
The Demon died, eyes wide open, spraying blood from his body without being able to put up any resistance.
As another one died so easily, the Demons began to spread out, creating distance between themselves.
It seemed they were thinking of running away since they couldn't match their opponent.
But as Jin Yuha began to dance with his sword, he suddenly lifted his body into the air.
Swish-
Swish-
The airborne body spun rapidly, and the sword energy lingering at the tip of the sword moved along with it.
The silvery sword energy, resembling moonlight, was scattered in the air.
Shwaaaaaaack-!!
The sword energy, as if alive, rushed towards the Demons.
Squeak-
Squeak-
Squeak-
The sound of cutting echoed repeatedly, and severed limbs rolled on the ground.
"Khaaaaaaaaaaack!"
"My arm! My arrrrrm!!!"
"My foooot!!!"
"Haaaaaaaaaack!!!"
The Demons screamed as if their voices were pulled from the depths of hell.
Because of this, their plans to either run away immediately or take the students hostage, as they had done with Yoo-ri, were quickly thwarted.
"...…You dare! You dare do this!"
A Demon, whose chest had been sliced open instead of losing his limbs, stepped forward bravely.
Squeak-
Jin Yuha did not respond to his words, simply swinging his sword with an expressionless face.
And another Demon's head fell to the ground.
"...."
In the face of such merciless brutality, the Demons all shared the same sentiment.
Fear.
That thing is a monster.
We're all going to die here.
Just then.
A woman with short black hair.
Baek Seol-hee appeared, her face expressionless.
"Jin Yuha."
